Question about checkboxes

When I add 'value="1"' to a checkbox, when the form is submitted the checked value (from POST data) is "1". However, if I don't add 'value="1"' to a check box, the checked value is "on". What's up with that?

Nothing, it's the default value for a checkbox when checked an no "value" is specified.

So are there other options for the return value as well? Or is it just the default value "on" and "1" if value="1" is specified?

What ever is in the value attribute will be returned in the POST or GET collection if the box is checked, whether it is a "1", "Yes" or "With the hat ON".
